One of the latest copies of Free & Easy got me interested in Navajo jewelry. A short search on the internet did not really match what I was looking for, but this bracelet from Self Edge is to my liking. It is a very simple single-grain leather band, with 925 sterling silver hand cut S-hook.

It is made by Jeanette Dale, who has 45 years of silversmith experience. She still follows her first mentor's advice: "Leave some mark, a saw mark of something to show that the jewelry was handmade." Beautiful with a rough edge. Available in two colors at Self Edge for $70 dollar. (via Hypebeast)
